Stalemate draws to close as budget passes Legislature

After months of deadlock, the Iowa Legislature passed a $5.99 billion budget June 30. When votes were cast, the to-tals came out to 27 ayes and 18

nays.The 84th General

Assembly of Iowa adjourned at 3:43 p.m. that afternoon, ending what had become the third-longest session in Iowa legislative history. The day marked a breakthrough after

months of budget negotia-tions, but one that came at the expense of commercial prop-erty tax reform.

Commercial property tax reform was marked by the Gov. Terry Branstad, Democrats and Republicans as a key issue

that needed to be addressed in the 2011 session.

“It is a big disappoint-ment for a lot of people across the state,” said Sen. Bill Dix, R-Shell Rock. “My hope is that when legislators return to their constituencies, they realize the impact of large tax increases.”

Gov. Terry Branstad has sought to reduce commercial property taxes to 60 percent of the assessed value of any property.

House Republicans have sought to reduce commercial property taxes to 75 percent of the assessed value of the property.

Another approach, passed by Senate Democrats would provide $200 million in aid for owners of commercial prop-erty. However, an agreement could not be reached.

“Our plan is fully paid for. The state reimburses lo-cal government 100 percent which in turn means there is no shift of property tax to resi-dential property tax,” said Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames. “The Governor’s plan is not fully paid for, and local govern-ment would lose revenue. And in all likelihood, [following it would] result in higher prop-erty taxes for homeowners and farmers.”

Property taxes provide local governments with the means to pay for schools, po-

lice and fire departments, and infrastructure.

Branstad believes his plan to reduce commercial prop-erty taxes would encourage job creation.

“Our proposed legislation would have significantly re-duced commercial and indus-trial property taxes to encour-age job creation and would have protected homeowners from huge tax increases,” Branstad said in a statement on the close of the 2011 ses-sion. “The lack of action by Senate Democrats on property taxes will mean residential taxpayers in this state will see historic increases.”

Commercial property tax reform is an issue that Branstad, Democrats and Republicans plan to continue working on. The bills passed

by the Senate Democrats and the House Republicans do not die with end of the 2011 ses-sion. Because the bills were passed by one chamber of the Legislature, they are not off the table for the next session.

Education was a major is-sue during the 2011 session. Branstad has stated education is one of the major goals of his administration. He had origi-nally proposed a 6 percent cut for higher education.

“One of my top priorities going into next year will be to restore funding. The budget proposed by the governor and House Republicans was a full-fledged assault on public edu-cation from pre-K to univer-sities,” Quirmbach said. “We had a clear victory in saving universal preschool. We’ve got to get more aggressive.”

The Supreme Court failed to uphold a California law ban-ning the sale of violent video games to children on June 27, citing the First Amendment right to free speech.

Professor Craig Anderson, distinguished professor of psychology and director of ISU’s Center for the Study of Violence, has contributed extensively to a large body of research showing a definitive link between exposure to vio-lent media and aggressive be-havior. Though he has served as an expert witness in similar cases, he did not take part in this one.

“What we did do was put together a summary state-ment of what the research shows,” Anderson said. “And we allowed that to appear in the appendix of one of the am-icus briefs that was filed by the California state senator who originally proposed the law.”

Anderson expressed his frustration with the judges’ dismissal of the statement.

“I’m disappointed by the fact that several of the judges chose to attack the research evidence and chose to make statements that are clearly factually incorrect,” Anderson said. “Here’s what the science says. Here’s what the science doesn’t say. Use this as you’re supposed to use it, but I can’t make them use it. They can misuse it and they will. It’s very frustrating.”

Anderson said he was nei-ther for nor against the ban.

“I firmly come down right in the middle,” Anderson said. “It wasn’t a well-written law, and I’ve always been a free speech proponent, but on the other hand, I don’t think free speech should apply the same way to children as it applies to adults, because we hold that they are vulnerable. As a soci-ety we’ve made that decision.”

Anderson said violent video games “model and rein-force” physical aggression and teach children that violence is an acceptable way to solve

problems. With Professor Doug Gentile, Anderson works with researchers in Germany, Japan and Singapore.

“[Our studies] all show es-sentially the same effects,” Anderson said. “Across time, kids who play a lot of violent video games become relatively more aggressive, even after you control for how aggressive they were at the beginning of the study.”

Their research as well as their personal motives are often unfairly attacked by the video game industry, Anderson said.

“They really do like to call us biased. They spend a lot of money making sure that we’re perceived as this biased, one-sided group that simply doesn’t understand games,” Anderson said. “There’s one guy who keeps trying to accuse us of creating a ‘moral panic.’”

Some of Anderson’s re-search has shown that certain video games can increase posi-tive behavior.

“The video game industry doesn’t like to acknowledge this, but we’re the first group to have published a major paper showing the positive effects of pro-social games,” Anderson said. “They don’t want to ac-knowledge this, because if they give us credit for showing how wonderful games can be, it makes them look foolish to turn around and trash us.”

Just as movies are rat-ed by the Motion Picture Association of America, video games are rated by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board. The board de-termines age-based ratings based on game content.

Anderson said the current ratings system makes it diffi-cult for parents to screen vio-lent games.

“It’s not really very parent-friendly in the sense of being accurate and useful in helping parents determine what’s good for a kid versus what’s bad for a kid,” Anderson said. “Clearer descriptions of what the ac-tual content is might lead to better choices — certainly by parents.”

Kids’ games may actually contain the same amount of violence as games intended for older children, with the only difference being the explicit-ness of the violence, Anderson said.

“We know that even car-

toonish violence leads to in-creases in aggressive behavior in children and even in college students,” Anderson said. “The bottom line is that the ratings system is inaccurate, it’s un-reliable and it doesn’t really match the science.”

Anderson said it might be wise to let the government control the ratings, as is the case in certain countries.

“They’re supposed to be independent of the video game industry but they’re not. They’re controlled and funded

by the industry,” Anderson said of the present ratings board.

Anderson said the gover-ment needs to make a greater effort to inform the public of the effects of violent media.

“The government, in my view, has a responsibility to provide parents with the tools they need to provide good parenting. One of those tools is educating parents what is and isn’t harmful. We’ve failed at that miserably,” Anderson said. “We don’t do very well as a society with psychological health.”

Anderson said it is also highly important for parents to become actively involved in their children’s media diet.

“You need to know what it is your kids are playing. You don’t buy them games with-out knowing what the content is,” Anderson said. “It’s help-ful for parents to talk to their kids about why certain kinds of games are not allowed, and in that context, provide some values training.”

Parents should also limit the amount of time children spend playing video games and watching TV, Anderson said.

End of shuttle program a loss for dreamers

NASA’s space shuttle program is set to end this Friday. The shuttle Atlantis will make its final flight into space. When it re-turns, human flight through space will come to an end.

The space shuttle had its problems. Mired in bureaucracy and political squabbling from the beginning, it was a craft that was supposed to justify itself. So when payloads from the Air Force and other agencies were not forthcoming, NASA was forced to invent payloads of its own to justify the project. The expectations of flight frequency were not met, and instead of continuing our voyage into the far reaches of our solar system, we confined ourselves to orbiting Earth. We are cutting the program largely for budgetary reasons.

But the shuttle program still had this going for it: because of it, men were able to boldly go where no man had gone before.

What could be more inspiring than lifting out of Earth’s gravity into weightlessness or thrusting toward the moon, or Mars, or the great beyond?

The current generation of undergraduates has its own problems to face. Space explora-tion may not be among them. And that is fine. What is really disturbing is the complacency with which we have treated a national proj-ect that, back in the day, everyone partici-pated in.

We seem to just somehow expect that other people will take care of our problems.

The point is this: we should look for chal-lenges, and conquer them, wherever they be and however dangerous they be.

This weekend we celebrated the birth of something never seen before we created it. We celebrated a repub-

lic and we named it the United States of America. It was born of the principles of a public, and operated under the assumption that each individual could, through debate and democratic participation, help solve the true problems of the state. Politics had been reinvented.

What we’ve come to do, however, has been far removed from our country’s found-ing principles. In fact, our political system resembles the 1642 British Parliament (with its irreconcilable differences, divisions and feuds) more than it does the United States.

An ongoing case of governmental gridlock could recently be observed at the Minnesota State Capitol. There, legislators couldn’t agree on a way to fill a $5 mil-lion gap in the budget, and the entire state government was forced to shut down. The political parties had segregated themselves so completely that cooperation on any agenda item was nearly impossible.

Minnesota’s governor, Mark Dayton, is the only state official who can call a special session of the legislature to resolve the budget crisis. But he refused to do so until he could be assured of a complete and full budget for the fiscal year. Like President Obama, he wished to raise the taxes affect-ing those who make more than a $1 million a year. And like Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives John Boehner, Minnesota’s Speaker of the House Kurt Zellers would not accept any tax increases to solve the problem. As a result, there was no session and no discussion of it.

It isn’t surprising that the divide fell along party lines and between factions that refused to budge on the issue. Historically, in extreme cases, when two sides adamantly opposed each other and could not come to an agreement, the impasse degenerated into war.

And that is what we now have: rheto-ric, slander and finger-pointing all barrel out of the political propaganda machines. Gov. Mark Dayton fired a round into the

Democratic ranks, blaming them for the shutdown and refusal to compromise on so-cial issues. He accused them of wanting the shutdown. The Republicans fired a few as well, blaming the Democrats for irrespon-sible spending, and saying they only wanted more tax revenue to pay for state handouts. Their tight protective formation organized around the idea of the “state living within its means,” but no one really knew what either party was arguing for.The truly sad issue is that instead of coming together to solve the problem, the two sides fought a war of words. This weekend was a time to celebrate American ingenuity. The founders of this nation had deeper issues with the Federalist and anti-Federalist debates.

We had Tories and Patriots in the Revolutionary War; we had Federalists and anti-Federalists in 1800; we had hawks and doves in Vietnam. We’ve always gotten through the debate using politics and intel-ligent discussion of the issue followed by compromise, but this weekend the two par-ties refused to convene to solve the problem.

Members of each party in Minnesota claimed to have compromised more than their fair share, though neither had actually made a move. All the while, the real prob-lems persisted. The matters at hand aren’t

social or class related — they include the layoff of 23,000 state workers, the closing of Fort Snelling and other historical sites, the closing of state parks, the moratorium on all non-critical construction, desertion of those who need the state’s aid in turbulent times and, most importantly, a degradation of America’s political way of life.

While we celebrated our country’s birth and the creation of political order without rule, we failed to practice the lessons of our past. Tim Pawlenty, former Minnesota governor and now a candidate for president, has claimed that the shutdown may be a good thing, and sadly he is not alone.

These statements of support are far from reassuring. Minnesota has shut down because its government is factionalized. Its state parties act according to inflexible ide-ologies. While they continue to declare war against one another they continue to harm the people. This is not an isolated incident, nor should it be treated as such. It’s best to see it as a cautionary tale.

We need politics and compromise. We need to unite and work together to solve the issues that affect our interactions. Simply disbanding and refusing to negotiate does not solve any problem. Rather, it only in-creases the distrust between parties.

Negotiations over the state budget between Republican lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton broke down and the government shut down on midnight Friday. Failed negotia-tions took place in the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. Photo: Jim Mone/AP Photo

Men’s Golf Women’s Golf

ISU men’s golfer Nate McCoy shot a final round 7 under par to earn a Dogwood Invitational title last weekend in Atlanta.

The West Des Moines native shot rounds of 66, 68, 67 and 65 at Druid Hills Golf Club for a total score of 266, finishing the tournament at 22 under par.

Alabama’s Bobby Wyatt, who also shot a 7-under final round, finished second with a total score of 268. Illinois senior Luke Guthrie entered the final round with a one-shot lead but only managed to shoot an even 72 in the final round, to finish third overall with a score of 272.

McCoy, who will begin his senior campaign at Iowa State in the fall, birdied four holes in a row just before the turn to take the lead from the All-American and Big Ten champion Guthrie. Wyatt responded nicely, coming up with an eagle and four birdies on the back nine, but it would not be enough as McCoy birdied the 14th, 15th and 16th holes to close out the tournament.

Nate McCoy is the son of Mike McCoy, one of top amateur golfers in Iowa history. The elder McCoy has six Iowa Amateur Player of the Year awards to his name and was ranked as high as No. 5 on Golf Week’s amateur player rankings.

ISU golfer gets 18th placeCyclone golfer takes tourney

It may be the offseason, but many ISU athletes are still working to maintain their competitive edge.

Prima Thammaraks is one of these such athletes making the most of her sum-mer opportunities.

The Cyclone golfer made her way to the windy coast of Dandon, Ore. to battle in the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship.

“In the beginning I wasn’t going to go because I didn’t want to miss my sum-mer school. I talked to my sister and she helped me figure everything out,” said Thammaraks.

“She said, ‘How do you know you are going to qualify next year?’ and asked me why I wasn’t going when I had the oppor-tunity. She told me to just go and have fun, and I’m glad I went because I learned a lot from this tournament.”

Despite her early reservations about competing, Thammaraks competed stroke for stroke with some of the premier amateur players in the nation.

With two rounds of stroke play com-pleted, Thammaraks stood alone in 18th

place, ten strokes behind then-leader Cheyenne Wood.

The unique layout of the tournament posed an additional challenge. After two rounds of stroke play, the top 64 play-ers advanced to the match play tourna-ment. Following the stroke play level, Thammaraks led eventual champion Brianna Do of UCLA by four strokes.

“I have been working on my swing for a while, and I feel like I got everything put back together by the tournament. My swing worked really well. It’s really bumpy and windy so you have to hit a lot of knock-down shots and hope it rolls down the green,” Thammaraks said.

In the opening round of match play, the Cyclone faced off against Vaishavi Sinha of Purdue. Thammaraks pulled away with a 5-and-4 victory, before toppling 15th seeded Joanne Lee, 1 up.

Thammaraks’s hot streak came to an end later that same afternoon in the round of 16. Marissa Dodd, the 31st seed, rolled to her second straight upset, with a 2-up win over Thammaraks.

Dodd would go on to be tournament runner-up.

The rugged, windswept terrain of the Old MacDonald course added an-

other mental challenge. Old MacDonald is a young course that is already in-famous for its forbidding hole lay-outs. To help her deal with these ob-stacles, Thammaraks brought along her secret weapon: her caddy Punpaka Phuntumabamrung.

“She’s on the team and she caddied for me at the tournament and she helped a lot. She and I have different styles of play, and sometimes she sees something I don’t see, and I see things she doesn’t see. So having her on the bag really helped fulfill my game, especially in the match play,” Thammaraks said.

Thammaraks was not the only Iowa State linkster in contention. Beth Wagner, Abbie Horan and Kristin Paulson each battled in the stroke play round, but failed to make the cut.

Though her performance cannot be considered a failure, Thammaraks knows she’ll be capable of better once she finds her groove.

“I don’t think I was really prepared. I had a hard time getting myself out to the golf course this summer. I don’t feel like I was prepared. I feel like I need to work out more to play better,” Thammaraks said.

Hope of winning a national championship remains for six ISU women’s soccer players this summer.

These athletes are play-ing on regional soccer clubs across the country in the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships. They will now advance to the national level for their respective teams.

There are four different regions in U.S. Youth Soccer, depending on which area of the country players hail from. The regions are East, Midwest, South and Far West.

“Each region has about 10 or more states,” Woodbury Inferno player Maddie Jobe said. Teams in a certain state play each other to win their state title, or they can receive a wild card and play in the re-gional tournament.

Jobe, along with Bridget

Grandas, Caitlin Graboski and Erin Green, play for the Woodbury Inferno team that won the Region II tourna-ment. Brittany Morgan plays for the Dallas Texans, who won Region III, and Jessica Stewart plays for the Real Colorado National team, which won Region IV. All these women are sophomores and will be playing in the Under-19 tournament.

The Region I champion-ship is still underway.

Stewart’s team faced a lot of adversity, as it initially lacked enough players to form their own team.

“We ended up merging with one of our longtime rival teams from Denver, called Real Colorado National,” Stewart said. “It was neat to watch a group of complete strangers bond together, forming a team of close-knit friends that end-ed up winning a regional title.”

Even though these athletes

are split up on different clubs, they still represent Iowa State and have taken what they’ve learned from both their teams.

“I believe that the level of competition, both in games and practice in the Big 12, has thoroughly equipped me to play at this next level,” Stewart said.

“I have learned so many things in the past year with [ISU assistant soccer coach] Ben Madsen that I carried on in my training over the sum-mer,” Jobe said.

Now that they are at the big stage, these players expect to take full advantage of it.

“Not many people can say that their team is the No. 1 team in the nation,” Jobe said. “It’s pretty cool to see all of the hard work paying off in the end of my club career.”

The U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships will be held from July 26 to July 31 in Phoenix, Ariz.
